Days 2, 3, and 4

hahaha
I guess I'd better catch this up... since I have to do a journal for one of my classes.
Day 2 = Friday, 8/24
Day 3 = Saturday, 8/25
Day 4 = Sunday, 8/26

Day 2/3: After riding the bus to Silver Beach watching 300 (which wasn't as good as everyone said, but that's me xD) we arrived and got settled in the cabins. The weekend was entirely fun, freetime was spent either swimming or just hanging out with friends. One of the group activities was painting a beach chair. My team (which is my Frosh Seminar class) are PORTfolio and Honors and Scholars so we painted the chair yellow, green, pink, and blue with PORTfolio and Honors and Scholars on the arms, and Marlins across the front of the chair with all our names on the back. We also had our book discussion with Pres. Greer, which went pretty well from what I saw. Later that night (2) was the bonfire/crab and clam steam. My friends and I couldn't really figure out the crabs but the clams were excellent. After that there was a t-shirt graffiti party but I was tired and didn't stay the whole time, instead opting to go take a shower.

The next day (3) we got up and had breakfast then free time, and the last activity of that day was the cardboard boat regatta. That was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time. We got two sheets of cardboard, a big sheet of plastic, bubble wrap, two cardboard stick things, and duct tape. Somehow I was lucky enough to get two guys who know something about boats and building so we ended up with a pretty sturdy boat that was covered in plastic and two spear-like paddles. The race itself was so fun to watch, a couple boats falling apart when they first hit the water. My group's boat even won the race AND was still in good shape. Overall, that was so awesome.

Day 3/4: After leaving Silver Beach, we headed back to our dorms, where I just wanted to clean up a little bit and then just chilled. Sunday went about the same, pretty much just hanging out with Amber, Audrey and Nikki. Got to sleep in which was fun, because the next day school started....

Days 5 and 6 will be posted later on, but it's time for dinner.
From the desk of a pleased college froshie,
